Re 1) Done. http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5155 Re 2) Yeah, makes more sense. Generally you call super.start/create and then do your job, but had to put the election policy injections before super.startService which looked awkward to me. Putting in createService() override makes more sense "bstansberry(a)jboss.com" wrote : The fact that this will be done should be documented in HASingletonSupport(MBean).setElectionPolicy(). | I'll document it there and also in the HASingletonElectionPolicy javadoc for setHAP and setSN so that people understand when these methods are called. Re 3) I'm Ok with that too. Re 4) I'll look into the test/mock drivers to see if I can replicate something along this lines. You're right in that my machine can hardly cope with 2 AS 5 nodes running a clustered test. It takes 10 minutes to run a single cluster test!
